If only there was a machine, pedometer-type, that could measure how many times a day I hear this at the moment... Maybe it's just because my patience is wearing a bit thin after three days of travel, seven weeks of nonstop together-time or maybe it's because of the jet lag; one thing is for sure, it is driving me absolutely insane!!
It never stops!
I hear "mammaaa, mammaaa" at least every 20 seconds - to come and look at something, because they want to tell me something, to break up a fight or solve a problem, to wipe their bums or serve them food, to turn on the TV or change movie, to make the other one be quiet or to ask me when we can go and play at someones house... Aaarrrghhh... How does single parents do it?? Respect.

We now have dogs
According to Lucas, we now have dogs!
?!?
Yes... no news to the rest of us, but with his logic it's like this: we had puppies before, and now they are dogs. (They have grown quite a bit while we've been gone you see!) Very cute.

The eagle has landed
We have arrived safe and sound back in Brunei. It's good to be home, even though we were greeted after just having been in the house for a couple of hours, with a near 3 hr power cut... Welcome back...
Fortunately, just as it was getting dark and I had lit all the candles in the house, the power came back - and with that the well needed AC..!
The trip went just fine this time. It was long of course, but it didn't feel looong like it can do sometimes. You just have to do it one bit at a time, and that makes it easier.
Saturday we had to do Göteborg-Copenhagen, and have a 3 hr transit there before catching our flight to Heathrow - since SAS had cancelled our direct flight. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for my overweight, it did have me a bit worried. It was only 1 kg extra per person, but still, you never know how rigid the check in person is on the rules.
Normally, Copenhagen is a beautiful airport full of cool shops and 3 hrs would have passed easily... if you wouldn't have had two small children in tow. They were unfortunately not the slightest interested in browsing the shops... So we found a quiet corner where we could have a hot dog, and play for a bit.
Upon arrival in London, one of our suitcases had gone missing. Luckily, it wasn't the one with the toilet bag and our travel clothes for the next day, but the one we were supposed to lock in at the airport during our transit anyway. On the other hand, it was the one packed full with all the new stuff, all the Lego and all my new clothes etc...
I made a report on it and they could already see it would arrive to LHR with another flight later that evening (it had for some strange reason taken a detour to Brussels?). So I left the address to the hotel, hoping for the best.
At the hotel the kids got a great surprise, because they didn't know that our dear friends from Horsham - the Häggkvist family had driven up to meet us! It was a huge reunion hug party, and then the kids played in the little jungle gym in the hotel, while us adults had coffee and caught up a bit. It was so lovely to see them, so nice they made the effort even though it was only for a short meet.
I didn't sleep too well, cause I kept thinking of all the things in the missing suitcase, that I thought I would never see again.
But miracles do happen - the next morning at check out, there it was!! It had been delivered during the night, halleluja!
I was dreading the two long flights of the second day, because they were both mostly day flights. But the kids were super well behaved and actually (mostly) stayed in their seats, and were easily entertained. They only took a short nap each on the first sector and then we got to sleep a bit more on the second one. We arrived in Brunei rather perky!
I have spent the day unpacking and being grateful all our bags made it! All the stuff I managed to bring back, it's crazy...
The kids have been playing with their toys, the dogs and been running around outside for a long while. We've only all had a very short nap this afternoon (I set the alarm), so hopefully now we will get to sleep without too much trouble and stay asleep most of the night. As long as there will be no more power cuts...

A fresh start
Many people think of autumn (because yes, I'm Swedish so I follow the northern seasons and now we're going into autumn...) as a fresh start - and so do I.
When I was younger I always enjoyed starting school again after the summer holidays, I always enjoyed getting new pens, book covers and pencil cases; and starting from scratch again with a new year.
I guess autumn still brings up that feeling in me. I really like autumn, and I like having routines. It seems like my body likes routines and finding it's rhytm again. Autumn is a bit like New Year for me, I always recap a bit, look over my daily life - decide what needs to be changed or renewed. After a summer of relaxed living it's easier to create new patterns - and I like it!
We have one week left now of the summer holidays and it's going to be spent with getting over the jet lag, unpacking, sorting out the house, relaxing and getting ready for Monday - the school start, and new routines.

A last night magic show
As a special treat on our last night, Morfar brought out some of his magic tricks and did a little magic show for us!
Lucas interacted and told Morfar off for doing "the wrong thing" and "cheating" - and got surprised over and over again. Linnea just sat there with her big eyes and didn't know what to expect.
We all thought it was great!
The show begins:
Linnea assisting:
Lucas "breaking" the wand, he thought this was hilarious!
Lucas assisting - take that, Harry Potter! Check out the wand control!
-"No, no Morfar - you turned them!! Like this!! You turned them!"

Lek & bus huset
It's been raining today, our last day of holiday. On one hand it sucked a bit because I was looking forward to a last nice run in my forest, on the other hand it's been quite alright - makes it easier to leave!
We took the opportunity to go and discover something new, that we hadn't tried out before, the 'Lek & bus huset' in the neighbouring town of Lidköping. It's a place for kids, made up out of ten different rooms with different themes/things in them. There was f.e a room completely full of pillows, a room made out as a store with a cashier and all, a room with dolls, a kitchen and dolls houses, a room with a child size racing car, a lighthouse, a Postman Pat car and a boat to climb in, a room where to train your balance, a climbing wall, a room full of masquerade clothes etc...
The kids seemed to have a good time, even though I thought it was a bit pricey and will probably only go back next year, if it wont stop raining at all! Otherwise, the kids have just as much fun at the playground!
Even Mormor played a bit!

Vacation summary
It's time to sum up this year's Scandinavian vacation. Last day today.
Bags are getting packed, the DS, PSP and other gadgets are getting charged and we are all gearing up for our long trip.
It's kind of lovely to think back because it's been some pretty packed six weeks with lots of fun things to remember!
After last years holiday, we did some thinking and tried to plan this year differently, so we would actually be relaxed and rested after it, instead of even more tired! Last year, we trained around everywhere, and visited six (!) big amusement parks. Fun yes, but slightly exhausting too!
It made a big difference to our holiday to have cars to our disposal both in Denmark and in Sweden. It also made it more relaxed to have made up a travel plan already before coming, and mostly stick to that. That meant less decisions to make on the trip itself.
I want to send a huge Thank You to all our friends who opened up their homes to us, we really enjoyed visiting you all and feel very privileged having so many good friends up here in Scandiland!
So Thank You to Claudia, Vivien & Linn; Thank You to Dorte, Lars, Lukas, Anna & Magnus; Thank You Thomas, Signe, Mikkeline & Konrad; Thank You Anne, Frederik, Malthe, Daniel & Ida; Thank You Fredrik, Eva, Tilda & Emma; Thank You Jens, Karin, Max & Tilde and Thank You Sam, Kicki, Maya, Charlie & Jack.
Thank You Ann-Katrine, Linea & hubby for lending us your apartment, super nice of you!
Thank You Henrik & Jette for lending us your car, that was great! And Thank You Katrine, for assisting in delivering it back!
Thank You Kattis, Moa, Lukas; Johanna, Mickaël & Jonathan; Sören, Katja, Filippa & Konrad; Lars; Tom & Nina; Viola, Hans & Edvin; Elinor, Leif & Sara; Johnny, Natalie & Fredrik; Tina, Emma, Stefan & Irmeli; Mads, Barbara & Josefine; Pierre, Dorthe, Cecilie & Sebastian; Jenny & Kamilla - for taking time to see us!
Thank You Erika for a lovely couple of girlfriend-days!
And last but not least, Thank You Mormor and Morfar - for looking after us, putting up with all our stuff everywhere and all our noice (...) and doing everything for us these summer weeks!
We will miss you.
It's been another great summer holiday (minus the sometimes quite boring weather, but hey, that's Scandinavian summer for you!) - and we will cherish the many memories for a long time!

Pigging out days almost over...
I got on the scales this morning and got a small chock, I'm slightly heavier than when I arrived on holiday... Even though I've been running in the forrest, and really feel good!! Boo-hoo! :(
It's a shame I don't look as good as I feel!
I'm really proud of myself for doing all this exercise while on holiday though. I've never done anything before while in Sweden (even though I should have, yes), so all exercise that has happened is good exercise I guess! (Today I ran over 6 km, not bad for someone who has never been a runner before!)
If it was only down to going exercise I would loose my overweight easy peasy, but unfortunately it's that 'controlling your diet' that is the hard part for me. I like my food.
I'm aware that being in Sweden offers far too many temptations for me and that every time I come back it's the same old story - I do gain some weight pigging out on all the goodies. It's too hard to say no to lösgodis, chokladpudding, marängsviss; frukostsmörgåsar på Lingongrova-bröd med massor av god ost eller leverpastej; kulglass, bearnaissås, kanelbullar, Ballerina-kex, bag-in-box vin, Estrella chips, Marabou choklad, dammsugare och chokladbiskvier m.m m.m... Too hard...
A few extra kilos inevitably happens every time, exercise or no exercise. Hopefully I have eliminated some of them by running this year though! And when we get back, it's back into normal routines and better eating habits. For sure.

Look Mummy, what I can do!
There is not really a lot of playgrounds around Brunei, and to be honest we don't spend a lot of time at the ones there are either, since it's always too hot.
So we make the most of it here in Sweden and go to the playground nearly every day. It's a perfect way to entertain the kids, and they also get to interact with other kids while we are there.
It's so cool to see how fast the kids acquire new talents. F.e Lucas has (finally) learned how to swing properly (and high!) by himself, and today he also wanted to show me how he could all by himself climb the whole climbing wall:
Of course, everything takes practise, and while f.e our 5-year old might not be able to ride his bike just yet (we have agreed to practise that a lot more on our return though!), he can swim - and so can our 3-year old! Simply because that's what we do most!
Playgrounds are lots of fun though! We will miss "our" one when we leave!

To the slaughter!
Today we "slaughtered" the piggy banks!
They were quite full, and we put all the coins in two plastic bags, to bring to the toy shop - after having counted them yet again of course.
Lucas found his toy really quickly, an 'Optimus Prime'-Transformer, but Linnea took her time in choosing what to buy, and changed her mind over and over again. In the end, she stopped at some 'Pippi Långstrump'-figurines. A good choice! (We passed everything from a soft Curious George-toy to an eraser in the shape of a 100 kr-bill...)
The ladies at the shop had to work a bit for their money today!

It's here!!
Today was a big day, we were all excitingly awaiting the post this morning - the IKEA catalogue is getting distributed this week, and we assumed we would get it today (since normally there is not much other post on Tuesdays so would be a good day to hand it out), and we were right!
It's here!!!
Since last year left me utterly disappointed, I was extra happy today to get to browse it IRL, so to speak. It's just not the same to have a look online.
Now I just wish we could get an IKEA store in Brunei too (ha ha ha!)..!

Mösseberg
Today's excursion went up to a nearby mountain (well... very small mountain) Mösseberg, and to a little mini-zoo & playground there. A popular outing for families around here.
Lucas enjoyed the view, and said: "Look Mummy, we can see ALL Sweden from here!!"
It's a very child-friendly 'zoo', with mini-pigs, chickens, deers, peacocks, ponies, geese, rabbits etc. The kids were electrified to get to help feed the little goats:
They got branches of leaves for lunch!
There was also a big playground, so the kids were well entertained for a few hours!
Afterward, we went to the local cheese factory to stock up for a nice snack, and then into the center of town to browse the shops and have ice cream.
We only just got back home late this afternoon in time for dinner, and Lucas asked Mormor "How come this day ended so quickly?", so he must have had a good time!

On a rainy day
If it rains outside, but you still want to play, there is always the huge garage! The kids are having a ball on the trike and pedal car, playing postmen with lots of packets and letters to deliver - there is certainly nothing wrong with their imagination at the moment!
Our little Scrooge
While being in Sweden Linnea and Lucas have got their own little piggy banks from Mormor, to be kept here. They have been "fed" several times during the holiday, while the kids have sometimes been rewarded, or bribed (...) or just sometimes because. This week we are emptying them to go to the toy store for a bit of a shop.
Linnea has already many times emptied her piggy bank to count all her money, at one stage it was several times per day...
She keeps asking for money to put in it, and if she doesn't get any there and then, she goes hunting for some - as we all know her weakness for coins... She has been seen picking some up from Morfar's desk, and some from Daddy's wallet; but her favourite trick is getting them from returning the supermarket trolleys!
It's really a win-win for her, since she loves coming shopping and especially in this store, where children can use kiddie-sized trolleys. When we are done, she hurries to put them back, and pockets the 10 kr-coin! Ha ha! So Scrooge!

Packa pappas kappsäck
It's time for Nathan to go back, and the packing process is always a bit of a mission. Even though we are allowed to bring 30kg each on RBA, we still have to make it over to the UK somehow, and on SAS we're only allowed to take 20 kg.
It's not so easy, when you have half a Lego-shop, a bunch of new clothes and other bargain buys to pack... *Sigh*

Song of the summer
The song of this summer vacation will have to be "Fairytale" by and with Alexander Rybak. It was the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest for this year, and he's from Norway.
Even though Nathan really didn't take to this song at all, that didn't stop it from getting played on the radio over and over (and over...) again during our roadtrip around Sweden. No matter which radio channel we tuned in to - there it was!
Here you get it in a double whammy version; the video is from the performance he did in the "Allsång på Skansen" show this summer. (Allsång på Skansen is an 'institution' in the Swedish summer!)

Saturday feast
Yesterday Mormor's family came over for dinner, all her siblings and some of my cousins.
We had prepared a real feast; with sundried tomato-and-olive chicken, horseradish marinated pork filé, bulgur-and-bean salad, potato salad, tomato-and-feta salad and more. I really enjoyed cooking (well, I don't cook too often nowadays so...) - and eating it!
Unfortunately I didn't remember to take many pictures, here are but a few, of the kids entertaining the bigger kids with their games:

Falkängen
Today we went on a little excursion. Only a short distance from here, there is a place called Falkängen (in Hällekis). It's a small street with houses from the early 1900s, where in the summertime a bunch of artists move in and show and sell their stuff. There is everything from paintings, straw creations, jewelery and ceramics to sewn things and much more.
It's a very pretty place, here are some photos:
Photographer: Lucas. He's got quite a talent actually!
This was my favourite "shop". The artist here sold candle light holders designed to hang, in trees or bushes or whatever. They were so pretty, and I wished I had unlimited luggage allowance on SAS (yes, I do need to get from Sweden to UK with them) so I could bring a bunch of these to hang in my garden for our next party.
